Fair,
Equal,
Waiting for no one

Mankind praises me. Without my grace,
Chaos ensues
Ignore me, I’ll always,
Always be
Where you least expect
Like a Sun,
You
Need
Me

Fair,
Equal,
Waiting for no one

Moving ahead, never turning back,
Life goes on
Civilization comes and goes,
Yet I remain, always,
Always absolute
As everyone ages,
Changes,
I stay

Fair,
Equal,
Waiting for no one

Watch me,
Closely
If not, I slip
Away
Like a Sun,
You
Need
Me

The author's comments:
This was written for Writer's Craft. We were supposed to make a poem inspired by one of Sylvia Plath's works. So I decided to do one about time, using my own inspiration from her poem "Mirror"
